  • Uh, I think those that are inclined have already acknowledged this. The others are very likely a lost cause, if this recent spate of reporting hasn't convinced them that Trump is a freaking manipulator and crook. Where do we go from here? I don't know how so many extremists could possibly just, you know, stop being so extreme. Naively, a civil war could fix the issue, but that is the last thing we need--war is never the answer.

  • I like this take. Being a jack-of-all-trades means I always feel like I'm not good at anything. It does take all kinds to make the world go 'round, though.

    My hobbies are almost exclusively outdoors activities. I want to be as far away from a computer as possible when I get off work.

  • Yay! Glad they finally put this to rest. I was hopeful but extremely pessimistic about it, and now we know.

    It's so cool to me how many specialists we have around the world, like Jain (the copper-sulfide expert). That's such a very specific thing to be an expert about.

    In my work in devops with a start-up, I'm expected to know a bit about everything. I'm a bit jealous of Jain's extremely narrow focus, lol.

  • I can back up that claim by pointing to the popularity of other search engines. People are now even paying to search because Google has become a nightmare due to SEO.

    As to your other question: did you even read the other comments on this thread before you jumped to Google's defense?

    I used to totally be a Google fanboy, like you still are, but they're failing us, dude, and somewhere deep down, I think you realize that.

  • You are arguing in bad faith. It is a fact that Google results have been getting worse over time. What is your point? That with extra effort, you might get the answer you're looking for? Google used to be the king of search! Other search engines don't seem to have a problem answering the question is the point others are trying to make, despite Google's massive revenue.

  • Just concede and learn from your mistake, because you're missing the point. Cloudflare throttles connections to sites as part of their DDoS protection, but that isn't even remotely related to net neutrality. On your site, you can do whatever you want, but ISPs preventing customers from accessing certain sites (or accessing them as they would "normal" sites) is what net neutrality is concerned with.

  • I'm dumb, and had to reread what you wrote. I thought you meant tabs this whole time (doh). I haven't even used an iPad before, so I didn't know that feature existed. I don't believe I've ever seen multiple windows of Firefox on Android (but you can have multiple apps open side-by-side).

    I think it is unlikely Mozilla would support that feature, given the lack of resources and demand; iPad's are niche.

  • That is actually somewhat useful. I don't know if that use-case is worth it to me, personally, to have a potentially insecure device on my home network, but I suppose you could give it its own network and write decent firewall rules to protect your other gear.

  • It didn't mention this in the article, but I believe that if the martian moons were getting closer to the planet, it would shorten the day (based on my understanding of the Earth/Moon system and how our day has been getting longer as the Moon has moved away). I wonder if they are.

  • No, not everybody hates ads. Everybody hates today's ads, because they're literally as intrusive and annoying as the designers can make them. I didn't have a problem with ads 15 years ago, but because I have to pay for my bandwidth, and because ads like to literally block what I'm reading with a giant, 100MB, unskippable video, I use an ad blocker.

    Advertising shot itself in the foot, and it isn't our fault for being pushed so far that we're fed up with it.

  • Years ago, I was looking for something similar. Used turtl for almost a year before switching to Joplin. Joplin was great, but not quite what I needed, and when Logseq came around, I switched again to it. Again, Logseq was just not exactly what I needed (though it is pretty powerful!) and I was worried what would happen when the devs either made it paid or abandoned the project, like so many before it.

    The solution to my woes was Emacs. Now, I won't pretend the learning curve isn't steep, but there just isn't anything that compares to it. Org-mode + Org-roam + notdeft is amazing, and I've never even looked for anything else since becoming accustomed to it. Plus, you can easily modify the existing tools or write your own to adapt it to your personal style.

    You will never regret the time you invest in Emacs.

  • I'm not sure, but Firefox on iOS isn't true Firefox. To my knowledge, Apple doesn't allow browsers to use anything but their Safari engine. As another user put it, "Firefox on iOS is barely more than a skin for Safari."

    I can speak to Firefox on desktop and Android, however: they're fantastic!

    tl;dr: If FF sucks on iOS, it's Apple's fault.

  • No, you do you. I just don't understand the engineers' motivation for creating an IoT fridge.

    From the creators of the IoT fridge comes the first IoT toilet, complete with a bowl camera and mic that stares up your ass and notifies your family when the bathroom is in use and whose taking a crap. You can even review your past shits in 4k! 😛
